Bad luck--I got a coolant leak after I'd learned to ignore the low coolant warnings, and ended up with an expensive overheat and blown head gasket. These bargain cars can be expensive.

Tonneau Cover motor, 1996 900

Thanks - I took the car to a Saab shop to have it evaluated. The mechanic test drove it and said the brake action was just fine; maybe I was talking myself into seeing problems that didn't exist. ...
